For the people accountable for getting the hire right

The headhunter that learns from you.

Every recruiter has a role that dragged on for months and a good person who slipped through. EVO works both ends: it challenges the role before you spend the first week searching, and it reads every candidate in depth instead of matching keywords.

Runs on your own LinkedIn account. No password, no cloud bot.

Most claims are backed up, but the discovery impact is described without numbers, so it loses points here.

Strengths

Progression with growing scope, not just growing titles.

Gaps

Discovery mentioned without an impact metric, so the result cannot be confirmed.

This and the other screens on this page are EVO's real screens, rebuilt in code so they load fast and stay readable on a phone. The data shown is illustrative.

Who it's for

If any of these sounds like you, we speak the same language

If you

make a living on getting your shortlist right

Search firm owner, independent headhunter, recruiter on the hook for the result. A bad recommendation costs reputation, not just time. And your LinkedIn account is your most valuable asset.

If you

get handed poorly defined roles

The request comes in, you suspect it won't close, but you have no way to prove it to the hiring manager. Four weeks later the pipeline is empty and the hard conversation happens anyway, only later.

If you

want quality, not volume

Head of HR or talent acquisition in an operation where a bad hire really hurts. You don't need more résumés: you need the few right ones to show up.

And if your problem is screening a thousand applications per role, EVO is not the tool, and we'd rather say so now. Our measure is the opposite: of every ten suggestions, one you would hire.

What we believe
The category spent ten years making screening faster, and not one minute making the decision better.

Tool after tool promised more résumés, faster, in more places. The recruiter ended up with a bigger pile of the same problem: whoever wrote the right word shows up; whoever lived the right experience and wrote it differently does not.

Now AI has sped up both sides. Applications per recruiter are up 412% since 2023, because candidates automated too, and the industry answered by building better filters for the flood.

We went the other way. EVO goes after the people who never applied, and reads each one in depth instead of filtering.

EVO
Shortlist81

"Built the discovery practice from scratch and grew two PMs. The job title is different; the work is exactly what the role asks for."

The filter read the job title. EVO read the work.

In both cases the filter is wrong, and wrong in opposite directions: it passes the person with the right title and none of the practice, and rejects the one with the practice under a different title. That's why our measure is one hireable person in every ten suggestions, not a thousand résumés per role.

The 412% figure: rise in applications per recruiter since 2023, published by Greenhouse in 2026.

What we promise, and what we don't

No recruiting AI is unbiased. Ours shows what it used.

The company is named evo, as in evolution. Selling infallibility would be incoherent. These are the three promises we can keep, and the three we refuse to make.

We don't promisean AI without bias
We do promisebias you can see

Every system trained on human decisions carries bias, ours included. The difference is that EVO cites the evidence behind each claim, shows which history it used to calibrate that assessment, and hands back a portrait of your own criteria, so you can look at them from the outside.

We don't promisegetting it right every time
We do promisebeing wrong less with every role

EVO will suggest people you reject. When that happens, it records the reason in structured vocabulary and adjusts the next analysis. And it goes further: it follows the people you hired at 90 days and at 12 months, to find out whether the recommendation was actually good.

We don't promisedeciding for you
We do promisenever deciding on our own

No score eliminates a candidate automatically. Tests and behavioral profiles become interview material, never a cut. Human review is mandatory and it is recorded. You remain the one accountable for the hire.

The point is to evolve together.

Each decision you make teaches the system, and the system gives back what it learned as a better question. It isn't a tool you use: it's a second pair of eyes that gets better the more you work with it.

The method

Four things only EVO does

These aren't extra items on a feature list. They're the four architectural choices that hold the promise up, and that, in the research we did, no competitor had made.

1Before looking for anyone

EVO pushes back on the role when it doesn't add up.

Before the first search, it interviews whoever opened the role and challenges what it finds: an impossible requirement, a salary off the market, an incoherent seniority level, a demand that rules out good candidates for nothing. And it won't write the description while a blocker is still open.

You get the argument ready to take to the hiring manager: acknowledgment, data, proposal and consequence.

Why it matters: half of hard-to-fill roles are hard because they were badly defined. A search tool attacks the symptom; challenging the role attacks the cause, before you spend the first hour searching.
EVO JD · phase 3 of 6, Challenge
✓ 1 Briefing✓ 2 Interview3 Challenge4 Drafting5 Audit
BLOCKERB2 · incoherent seniority
You asked for a "Senior Specialist", but described a management role.

Of the responsibilities we captured, six are people leadership: defining what each analyst works on, running development plans and 1:1s, and owning the team’s capacity.

The practical consequence: you will attract a strong IC who turns down the management part, or a manager who accepts and then asks for the title back. Both scenarios cost you a cycle.

Suggestion

Reclassify as Team Leader and keep the scope. The range goes up ~25%: salary intel estimates R$ 18–24k for a Discovery TL in São Paulo, against R$ 14–19k for a senior specialist.

"I want your confirmation on both blockers before I write. I am not drafting this with the wrong seniority."

2On your account, at your pace

It works the way you would, not like a separate bot.

A desktop app runs on your machine and uses the Chrome you already opened and already signed into. No password handed over, no credential stored, no browsing coming out of a data center. The server never opens a connection to your computer: it's the app that asks for work when you're active.

Variable pauses, a business-hours window and a daily cap that you set. On a team, each search runs in the Chrome of whichever hunter you pick.

Why it matters: your LinkedIn account is your professional asset. It is the first question every recruiter asks, and it deserves an answer from the architecture, not a marketing promise.

3It actually learns

Every decision you make improves the next recommendation, and the books stay open.

Every rejection and every shortlist captures the reason in structured vocabulary, and that feeds the next analysis. Deeper still: the real outcome comes back. Did you hire? How was that person at 90 days? And at 12 months?

And the screen shows exactly which history went into each assessment. Not a black box: open books.

Why it matters: "our AI learns" is easy to say. Closing the loop all the way to the real outcome of the hire, and showing on screen which history went into each assessment: that is what separates learning from a promise. It is the asset that grows with use.

Real outcome × your decisions

"Of your shortlists based on trajectory, 71% became hires that lasted past 90 days: the pattern that looked like bias is delivering. Shortlists based on evidence converted at only 45%."

Base: 17 closed processes with a recorded outcome · N is still small, read it as a trend.
4The bias mirror

The market points the lens at the candidate. We point it at the criteria too.

The bias mirror compares what you prioritize with what EVO prioritizes and returns the gap in plain text. It is not an accusation and not a prompt to act: it is a reading. It may well be a deliberate strategy of yours, and EVO says so.

Then it sets each of your patterns against the real outcome of the hires. You find out not just what you do differently, but whether it is working.

Why it matters: the whole category points the lens at the candidate. Pointing it at the criteria of the person deciding is what turns a search tool into a better decision tool.
How you compare with EVO

"You shortlist on trajectory about 3× more than on evidence: EVO tends to balance those two axes. It may be strategy (hunting for talent on a fast climb) or a pattern worth watching."

The journey of the role

The role isn't a form. It's the input to everything else.

Almost every recruiting product treats the job description as a text field to fill in. In EVO it's a six-phase conversation, and what comes out of it feeds the search, the screening, the interview and the test.

1

Briefing

You describe the need in plain language

2

Interview

Eight dimensions of discovery become recorded facts

3

Challenge

What doesn't add up gets contested, with an argument for the manager

4

Drafting

Thirteen sections anchored in facts, never in guesswork

5

Audit

A second agent reviews the text without seeing the conversation

6

Ready

Becomes the input for everything that follows

What the role hands to the stages that followFixing the role here improves everything downstream. That's why it is worth forty minutes on it.

And it doesn't get written too early.

During the interview EVO writes nothing, on purpose: polished text written too soon becomes an anchor, and you end up defending the sentence instead of the role. Drafting only opens once the blockers are resolved.

The proof

From role to hire, with you in charge

Every stage exists to prove the same point: read the person in depth instead of filtering, with the decision always on your side.

1

Define

EVO interviews whoever opened the role, challenges what doesn't add up, and only then writes.

2

Search

A search strategy with target companies and adjacent titles, running on your own account.

3

Assess in depth

A deep read of each profile, with cited evidence and offer-acceptance odds.

4

Reach out

A message that cites something real from their career, in your voice, with your approval.

5

Test

An interview journey, a guide with a rubric and a test built for that role.

Below what the stage expects: becomes an interview probe, not a cut.

🎯 Becomes an interview probe

"Walk me through the most recent A/B test you designed: the hypothesis, the sample size, and what you decided when the result came back ambiguous."

Adjustments are audited. The score is informative: it never eliminates anyone on its own.

Proctoring asks whether someone else is in the room. We ask whether you did the work. The test is generated for that role, and in a controlled experiment with original questions, the people cheating with AI scored lower than the ones answering honestly. The defense is the question a camera never asks.

Features

Everything the process needs, in one place

Fifteen modules, organized in the order you use them. Each one has its own page with the screens from the inside.

Security

Your LinkedIn account is yours, and it stays that way

It is every recruiter's first question, and the product's architecture was designed around it.

We never ask for your password

The app uses the Chrome session you already opened and signed into. No LinkedIn credential is typed, transmitted or stored anywhere.

Runs on your machine, not in the cloud

All the browsing happens on your computer. Our server never opens a connection to your machine: it's the app that asks for work when you're active.

At a human pace, within your limit

Variable pauses, business hours and a daily cap on profiles that you define. No bursts of access that set off alarms on the platform.

Your data never touches another client's

Each company operates in an isolated organization, with separation enforced at the data layer and verified automatically on every change to the system.

No score eliminates anyone on its own

Test results and behavioral profiles become interview material, never an automatic cut. Human review is mandatory and recorded, as Brazil's data protection law requires.

Integrity that actually works

Surveillance detects the environment, not authorship. An impostor with the camera on gets through. That is why the candidate defends their own work live: it is what ties the person to what they delivered.

When something goes wrong

You report it from inside the system. No ticket, no phone call.

On every screen there is a button to report a problem or suggest an improvement. You write two lines and that's it. The system attaches which screen you were on and what you were doing, so you don't have to retrace the steps or take a screenshot.

You get an email confirmation right away. A confirmed bug gets fixed, and we tell you when the fix ships. An approved suggestion becomes an improvement, and the screen's manual is updated along with it.

It is the practical counterpart of admitting we are not perfect. If we are going to get things wrong, the path to fixing them has to be short.
1

You report it from the screen you're on

A button anywhere in the system, without leaving what you were doing

2

The context goes with it, automatically

Screen, action and moment travel attached, with nothing for you to explain

3

You know it arrived, instead of waiting in the dark

4

A confirmed bug becomes a fix

No bureaucratic triage, no ticket number, no approval queue

Common questions

What people ask before starting

Is my LinkedIn account at risk of being blocked?

The risk is never zero with any tool that touches LinkedIn, and anyone who says otherwise is selling. What we do: no automated login, no server reaching into your account, a human pace with variable pauses, business hours and a daily cap that you set. Every operation was tested on a real account before it became a feature.

Do I have to install anything?

Yes, a light app that sits in the system tray (Windows or Mac) and talks to the Chrome you already use. It is what makes it possible to work through your own account instead of asking for your password. Installation takes a few minutes and pairing is by code.

Does EVO send messages in my name without me seeing them?

Only if you want it to. The default is approval mode: EVO writes, you read, edit if you like and release. Anyone who prefers can switch on automatic mode once they trust the voice.

Does it work alongside the ATS we already use?

EVO doesn't compete with your ATS. It solves what no ATS solves. Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever are systems of record for people who applied: none of them goes looking for the people who never did. That is exactly where EVO works. Today it runs the process end to end inside itself, with open export of roles and data; direct integration with market ATSs does not exist yet, and if that is a requirement for you, it is worth talking first.

Without a webcam, how do you know the candidate did the test?

Because they explain their own work, live, answering questions generated from what they themselves wrote, with no going back. Surveillance answers a different question: whether someone else is in the room. It does not answer who did the work. Cases documented in 2025 show impostors passing technical interviews with the camera on and real technical skill. What the camera misses, defending the solution catches.

What about data protection law, since you handle candidate data?

No automated decision eliminates a candidate on its own. Human review is mandatory and recorded, as article 20 of Brazil's LGPD requires. Every access to sensitive data is audited, and each organization sees only its own data.

Is it for high volume, like screening a thousand résumés?

No, and that is deliberate. Our measure is precision: of every ten suggestions, one you would hire. If your problem is processing volume, there are better tools for it, and we would rather say so up front.

Start with the role that's hard to fill

You sign in with Google or an email link, add the role, and EVO starts by interviewing you about it. The LinkedIn search comes later, once you install the app.
